During an English lecture or a biology presentation, I believe laptops serve little purpose. To me, a pencil and paper will provide a faster means of recording abstract ideas which can be re-documented later. Indeed, on more than one occasion, I've had to "pipe up" and tell a fellow student to STFU with the WoW garbage as it's a major distraction.
In an IOS, Java or electronics class however, I'll be far more productive with my own terminal emulator in my own environment, set up the way I want, and my own note taking software.
Apple don't even make the top 100 in the Fortune 500 (103rd I think). A 1.7% hiccup in AAPL will not cause a ripple in the general stock market, let alone drive the entire market down 1.5%.
Hah! That sounds like my old V8 auto Holden Torana fitted with a high a high stall torque converter. Give it enough gas and a little line lock, and you'd just sit there spinning in a growing cloud of smoke. All that AND 22 litres per 100 klm!
First up, congrats on the commute - that's a good ride, I know it well. More lower North Shore folks should do it.
Have you tried a decent pair of knicks, a quality moisture wicking jersey and shoes/pedals with cleats? If not, you should. If you don't benefit from increased pedalling performance, you have probably been pushing through an inefficient postition/setup for years and risk long term knee/back injury. Also, wind resistance greatly outweighs resistance from under-inflated tyres (up to about 40% under-inflation). And, one would hope that anyone who spends over $200 on cycling clothing would know how to pump up their tyres:)

Ever heard of a pencil? Far more useful for note taking, especially when copying diagrams or illustrating methods etc.

Wow, that was trippy...
Canon Inc. has nothing to do with cannon. Also, Canon is a word in it's own right.
I disagree. I think they're great.

Embrace, extend, extinguish... profit?
1 x Internets for you, good sir. [cleans monitor]
The roadmap to success - I like it!
Dude! You're famous!
Nope, just some beachy type dudes who want an excuse to drink beer in space.
Break out your keyboard and start contributing ;)

Best. Sig. Ever. You owe me a monitor (or at least a shitload of wipes.)
Geez, you and Fat ass Magda would get along great.
Not to mention the noise he make about cyclists.
If the sun's shining brightly, then get outside and enjoy it! Life is too short.
Yes, it's funny how people like the same scheiße dished up over and over again. I guess that's why MacDonalds is so successful.
Hmm, most geeks I know couldn't possibly wait the 192 hours required to untar their collection once they get to the hotel :(
'Cause Slashcode supports Holdens! Go Lowndsey! (Ducks)
Almost any recipe book stand will do the job.
That was the funniest thing I have ever seen on Slashdot... wait maybe that one about the dolphin overlord... no this is WAY funnier.
Well?
Somehow I don't think you've given him enough time.
When did they move West Virginia to Australia?
When John Howard was elected in 1996.
